U.S. EPA recently entered into a settlement agreement with public interest groups regarding stormwater permitting requirements that will likely have significant consequences to industrial stormwater dischargers throughout the U.S. In states not authorized to issue Clean Water Act permits (currently Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Idaho and New Mexico), USEPA retains responsibility for regulating stormwater discharges associated with industrial activity. In most instances, these industrial stormwater discharges are authorized and regulated pursuant a series of general permits that are collectively referred to as the Industrial Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit (MSGP).After the U.S. EPA reissued the Industrial Stormwater MSGP in June 2015, public interest groups filed lawsuits challenging the permit as failing to adequately protect waterbodies. Last week, the government and the plaintiffs reached a settlement agreement which, while leaving the current Industrial Stormwater … [Read more...] about U.S. EPA Settles Public Interest Groups’ Challenge to Industrial Stormwater Multi-Sector General Permit

Legislative ActivityWith a Passing Glance at the President’s Request, Congress Continues Work on FY 2018 AppropriationsPresident Trump’s FY 2018 budget request, which was released on May 23, was received in Congress with reservation by Democrats and Republicans alike. The $4.09 trillion federal budget request, entitled “A New Foundation for American Greatness,” proposes cutting federal spending by $3.6 trillion over 10 years. In addition to the anticipated backlash from Congressional Democrats, Republican members seemed to somewhat disregard the President’s request: “The president’s budget, as we all know, is a recommendation,” Senate Majority Leader Mitch McConnell (R-KY) noted, “what I do like about it is it clearly focuses on increased defense spending, which is important given the threats that we face.”Congress is continuing its work on FY 2018 appropriation bills, despite the fact that budget committees have yet to … [Read more...] about With Passing Glance at President’s Request, Congress Continues Work on FY 2018 Appropriations

This month, the San Francisco Board of Supervisors unanimously approved an ordinance that provides six weeks of parental leave for bonding with a new child at 100% of the employee’s rate of pay (subject to certain caps). The ordinance which will take effect beginning January 1, 2017, will make San Francisco the first U.S. city to require employer-paid parental leave.The new ordinance will go above and beyond the California state mandate, which currently provides covered employees six weeks of paid family leave at 55% of their pay for baby bonding or to care for a sick family member. That paid leave is funded by the employee who is taking the leave, through regular payroll contributions to the California State Disability Insurance (“SDI”) program. The new ordinance requires covered San Francisco employers to pay the remaining 45% of a covered employee’s wages during the six weeks of paid parental leave.The law’s effective dates are … [Read more...] about San Francisco Becomes First U.S. City To Require Employer-Funded Paid Parental Leave

The latest advice offered by high-profile lawyer Martin Lipton to his corporate clients is “wrongheaded” and “dangerous,” Andrew Ross Sorkin asserts in a Dealbook column for the New York Times.The 76-year-old lawyer sent out a pre-Christmas memo advising corporate board members to resist shareholder efforts to dictate executive compensation and reduce CEO powers. Lipton, who is a co-founder of Wachtell, Lipton, Rosen & Katz, also advised companies to be judicious in deciding which whistle-blower complaints merit investigation.Sorkin says the memo shows Lipton’s impulse as “an unapologetic apologist for the days of the Imperial CEO.”“It is as if Mr. Lipton wants to return to an era when chief executives could do whatever they wanted, when boards were mainly rubber stamps and shareholders had only one way to express their discontent: sell their shares,” Sorkin writes. “But he can’t turn back the clock, which is why Mr. … [Read more...] about Martin Lipton’s Latest Client Memo ‘Wrongheaded,’ Columnist Says

Here’s how the Justice Department describes part of his alleged scheme:Between September 2009 and January 2011, Shkreli and his co-conspirators falsely represented to potential investors, among other things, that: (i) MSMB Capital was a transparent investment vehicle for sophisticated investors with monthly liquidity; (ii) Shkreli would only receive a one percent management fee per year based on net assets of the partnership; (iii) Shkreli was entitled to receive twenty percent of the limited partners’ net profits for the year; and (iv) MSMB Capital had retained independent certified public accountants as auditors who would issue an audit report on the annual financial statements.

On April 15, 2016, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) sent its newly proposed Renewable Fuel Standard (RFS) volumes for 2017 and 2018 to the U.S. Office of Management and Budget (OMB) for review. Under the Clean Air Act (CAA), EPA must set standards for cellulosic biofuel, biomass-based diesel, advanced biofuel, and total renewable fuel by November 30 of the year before the standard is set for, and 14 months before the year that the biodiesel standard is set for. EPA's issuance of the RFS volumes to OMB is typically the final step before the rule is publicized. OMB's review is limited to 90 days, but typically takes 30 days.EPA has previously fallen behind schedule in issuing RFS volumes, but was able to get back on track after releasing three years worth of RFS volumes in 2015 that covered 2014, 2015, and 2016, as well as proposed biodiesel standards through 2017. EPA has stated that this new rule will be finalized by November 30, 2016, following the previously determined … [Read more...] about EPA Close To Publicizing 2017 And 2018 Renewable Fuel Standard Volumes

“A [not so] long time ago in an automotive industry [not] far, far away,” John Murphy, Research Analyst for Merrill Lynch delivered his popular annual “Car Wars” presentation in Detroit on May 10th. This was the 26th year of the report (which began in 1991), which is not quite as old as the 39-year old Star Wars franchise that dates back to 1977. But, for automotive geeks, both remain very interesting. Report SummaryThe Car Wars report included Murphy’s forecast for U.S. automotive industry sales, and of course the information regarding the automotive OEMs current product plans and replacement rates for the 2017-2000 period, which portion gives the report its signature name. On the market forecast, the headline of course was the prediction of 20 million total units sold by 2018 in the U.S. market, which would be a significant uptick from the current sales rate of between 17 and 18 million units. Garnering less attention was … [Read more...] about U.S. Automotive Industry Presentation Recap: Car Wars
